Community Tasting Note

dxpian Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 16, 2011 - Ruby and purple hue, deeply colored, dark and vibrant. Gamey and earthy nose with an herbal overtone, spice, light smoke, cedar, graphite, tobacco and coffee, revealing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, blue berry and a floral note. Full bodied and complex, it shows a lot of blackberry, dark cherry and currant fruit on the attack, very expressive but well-contained, supported by a firm structure of big, yet ultrafine, tannin along with fresh acidity. A tannic/velvety finish with good length, needs a lot of time to unlock the plum and cherry fruit and cedar, graphite, dark chocolate components. Excellent presentation from a small producer! Lay it down for at least 2 years, and enjoy it over the next 20.
